Frequently asked questions
The mill boom ended. Why does August still wet the crawlspaces?
The layout remains. Benches, clay, and cottages were built for furniture, not for 4.58 inches on sealed ground. August rain still uses those paths. Closing a mill did not add tile or change the Catawba outfalls.
Is a Viewmont house the same job as one toward the river?
Viewmont and Kenworth are bench cuts: perched clay against the crawl. River streets are outfall lock. One storm, two elevations. The 1982 median averages them; the address does not.
July storms soaked in and the August one ran straight off. What changed?
The clay sealed. A run of summer storms closes the surface, so by August the ground refuses what it accepted a month earlier and the peak becomes runoff. The soil got less absorbent, not more.
